"Why did this hotel catch your attention?A grand Victorian mansion on the southeast corner of Lafayette Square, the building that now houses the Hamilton-Turner Inn dates to 1873. Its aesthetic, known as "Second Empire," is marked by tall windows and intricate ironwork balconies. There’s a grand, Italianate look to the place as you climb up to the front door and enter a beautiful hallway. The elegant parlor and dining rooms are to your immediate left and right, unfurling before you with sophistication and period glamour. What's the backstory?The independently owned inn has operated since the 1990s. Before that, it was a private home. Today's iteration recreates the glory days of early 20th century entertaining. Tell us about the accommodations.The rooms here are all different. Our Thomas Charlton Room featured 12-foot ceilings and eclectic period decor ranging from Victorian furniture to a gorgeous Art Deco writing desk. Even the bathroom was elegant, with a chandelier and a modern walk-in shower. The bed and fabrics were traditional—with paisley patterns and heavy materials—furthering the regal feel. Is there a charge for Wi-Fi?Wi-fi is free but a little patchy. That said, most people are here to escape the trappings of modern life, anyway. Drinking and dining—what are we looking at?Breakfast is served on a set menu every half hour in the mornings. The kitchen turns out orange blossom pancakes and praline French toast, as well as more traditional eggs and sausages. The high ceilings and crisp white linens add to the ambience. How was the service?Check-in and breakfast service are both warm and personal. The front desk and dining staff embody Savannah's famed hospitality. What type of travelers will you find here?This property appeals to travelers with elevated, refined tastes. They’re likely to appreciate art and history, and they seek a tranquil respite from the busy riverside neighborhood. What about that neighborhood? What's the scene like?Savannah’s historic district is crammed with houses like this, and the opportunity to stay in one that’s not a private home is a real treat. Even among its peers, it stands out as a particularly fine example of Victorian conservation. Any other hotel features worth noting?The parlor offers a few treats throughout the day. In the morning, there are newspapers and hot drinks; in the evening there are hors d’oeuvres and wine; after supper, there is port and fresh-baked cookies. Bottom line: Why will we love the Hamilton-Turner Inn?It’s a joy just being able to look around such a fine house, and staying here really takes you back to the golden age of Savannah’s hospitality." - Paul Oswell
